1

Speaker 1: Ron an Adian. But I walked out with the jump

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: pack from anti gravity battery of the XP ten and

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: went out there, flifted the hood. Sure enough the guy's

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: battery was dead, picked up the box, plugged it in, bang,

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: fired right off, totally blew them away.

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: Shot cool.

58
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: We've been getting a lot of phone calls lately regarding tires,

59
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and I guess everybody's thinking about tires this time of years,

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: we're rolling into winter. No pun intended that you know

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: what kind of shape are your tires in and what

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: sort of problems and issues are you going to have

63
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: or could you have? And the problem couldn't be any

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: more apparent than the new vehicle that rolled into the

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: shop this week. At Rioto Motive, we had a late

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: model Toyota that came in with four different brands of tires,

67
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: one odd size. All the tires were worn poorly, and

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: the customer wanted to know and explanate. They want an explanation.

69
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: They wanted to know why did the car pull to

70
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: the right. You know, a blind man could have seen

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: this in about thirty seconds. In the sense of that

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: the tires are not the correct size. There's two different

73
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: tires on the front. There are four different brands of

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: tire on the vehicle, and they were never rotated or

75
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're not mixing the tires correctly, never mind

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: size wise. And it's important to know that, yes, you

77
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: can mix tires. You can change worn tires on different axles.

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: You can.

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to necessarily keep four new tires. You

80
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: get a flat on a car with thirty thousand miles,

81
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: you don't have to ride away, change that tire, change

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: all the tires to match that one new tire. There

83
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: are some ways to go about that. As a matter

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: of fact, if you're looking for a print out and

85
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a good guide, if you get out to generaltire dot

86
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: com and look under their Q and A section, they've

87
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: got a great article there about tire rotation and tire mixing,

88
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: and they explain in great detail, much better than I

89
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: could do here. In the timeframe I have about why

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: it's important to rotate and what to look for and

91
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: uneven tread So you want to get out to generaltire

92
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: dot com and pay attention to that, and while you're there,

93
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: you can take a look at some of the tires

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: that the folks from General Tyre have as well, because

95
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: that was the other part of this question that the

96
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: listener had or the person at the shop had, what

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: tires do we like right now? General Tires at the

98
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: top of the list simply because they've got a lot

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: of innovation going on, and you can read more about

100
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: the innovation and tires that they've got at generaltire dot com.

101
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Back to the shop. The bottom line came back to

102
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: that to solve the tire problem just took some common

103
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: sense and I felt the need to really talk about

104
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: that here in that some of the simplest questions that

105
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: you're asking tells me I'm not talking about it enough,

106
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: and that is tire pressure. What do you set the

107
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: pressure on the tire too? And maybe we're going to

108
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: talk about that at some point in the future. And

109
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll give you the answer to the question that I

110
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: may ask you three months from now and that is,

111
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: where do you find correct tire pressure? Anybody in the

112
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: control room? Now, Tom, do you know where you find

113
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: correct tire pressure? Tony?

114
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: My correct tire pressure is thirty two on all four tires.

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: How do you know that?

116
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: I looked on the sticker in the car and you've

117
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: told me that, Actually.

118
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's cheating when I tell you that, right, it's

119
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: the sticker on the car, and a lot of you

120
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: have to realize that it's not what the tire says.

121
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: It's not the pressure rating on the tire. It's the

122
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: pressure rating based on the door jam sticker on the

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: driver's door or in the area of the driver's door,

124
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: And that's very important to note. Now. The other thing

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: to keep in mind before we kick open the garage

126
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: doors this hour is pay attention to the climate. When

127
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: they tell you thirty two pounds on the door jam,

128
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: they're telling you thirty two pounds at sixty eight degrees.

129
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: As the temperature goes up, for every ten degree change

130
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: up or down, tire pressure will change up or down

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: one pound. So at seventy eight degrees, a thirty two

132
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: pound tire at sixty eight now becomes thirty three, then

133
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: thirty four then thirty five and so on. Subsequently the

134
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: other way, the tire that you said at sixty eight,

135
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: at fifty eight becomes thirty one, thirty twenty nine and

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: so on. So you've got to be mindful of that

137
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: depending upon what part of the country you're in, and

138
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: just be aware that temperature has a great effect on

139
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: tire pressure. And we'll leave it at that, all right.

140
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: If you've got any other questions, email them to me

141
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Ron at cardoctorshow dot com. But yeah, as we're going

142
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: into winter, you know what that little contact patch of tires,

143
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: and I believe the General tiregeneraltire dot com website explains

144
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: about that as well, has an awful lot of bearing

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: on how stable that car is getting ready for winter

146
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: and traveling over the winter road conditions that we're going

147
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: to find moving on down the road. So coming up

148
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: a little bit later on this hour, I don't know

149
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: where or when I know that the jolly old l

150
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: himself is somewhere in transit. We're supposed to be getting

151
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: a visit from the big guy up the North Pole.

152
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: Yet he took off about five minutes after the hour,

153
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: and we're expecting him almost any time. Wow, he's something

154
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: about a little little bit of congestion because of the

155
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: jets going into and out of the New York area.

156
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: But he'll be here. Yeah, you know how those jets

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: are over the New York area, So hopefully how the

158
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: jets are on the football Well I was going to

159
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: say hopefully, I don't want to go there. Hopefully the

160
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: jets on the the in the sky are better than

161
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: the jets on the ground. But I understand what we

162
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: get anyway, and escort passport Max to radar detector, which

163
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: is the latest in digital radar detection. It provides the ability,

164
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, one of the neat things is, and I'll

165
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: say it like this, it provides the ability to know

166
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: where the full signal is and is not. I've got

167
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: a Passport Max and it's really kind of neat when

168
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: you're driving down the road and you you stop getting

169
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: false signals as you repeat that route, because it learns

170
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: what's a real digital signal, like, for example, the automatic

171
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: door at the CVS or the walls versus where the

172
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: real radar detector radar trap is. The detector picks that

173
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: up and records that because down within each digital signal

174
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: of a radar detector is. I like to think of

175
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: it as the radar detection DNA, the actual physical makeup

176
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: of what makes that a true radar signal versus an

177
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: automatic door, a security system, the bank, the Walmart, and

178
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: so on. So we'll be giving away a passport max

179
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: to radar detector for someone for the holidays this year,

180
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: and we're just kind of waiting for the big guy

181
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: to show up and deliver it himself, because Santa is

182
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: bringing it. He's a fan of the Card Doctor. That's

183
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: because we take the whole crew up there a couple

184
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: of days before Christmas. Hey, listen, who do you think

185
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: works on the sleigh and gets it ready? How do

186
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: you think it makes its way around the world? Come on,

187
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: you think all this technology comes at no price? But anyway,

188
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: that's a little bit later on this hour. Right now,

189
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: let's pull over and take the pause. I'm running any

190
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: of the Card Doctor. We're back right after this.

191
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: You better watch out, You better not cry, better not poud.

192
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you why Santa Clause is coming to town.

193
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back. Why don't the ning the Car Doctor

194
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: here at eight five five five six nine nine zero

195
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: zero The Car Doctor's twenty four seven number. Let's get

196
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: over and talk to Warren, west Haven, Connecticut. Some questions

197
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: about a twenty eleven Caddy DTS Warren, Welcome to the

198
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: card doctor, sir, how can I help.

199
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 5: Run? I go afternoon a workol dealer. I was looking

200
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: at a twenty eleven Caddy DTS shot to four point

201
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 5: six Leader or a news Star engine. I believe right

202
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 5: now I was told different. I have four different questions

203
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 5: asked you about that car. I was told not to

204
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 5: use synthetic oil in it. I was sold some people

205
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 5: say you can now I know the anti freeze they

206
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: put in that as Dick School. I never liked Dick School.

207
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 5: I got an eighty four Caddy all over in it

208
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: is Presstone fifty to fifty? Can I run the Presstone

209
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 5: fifty to fifty in it? Now? The gas the dealer said, oh,

210
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 5: you can burn regular gas in it. I looked up

211
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 5: on the web and they said they prefer that you

212
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 5: used premium a gas. I've always use high test gas

213
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 5: in my cars. I find that it gets you a

214
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 5: better gas, miles, more power, and I understand that barn's

215
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: cleaner in the combustion chamber.

216
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 4: Good.

217
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 5: The other thing is the twenty eleven, I understand the

218
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: north Stars. There were problems, the dealer told me. By

219
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 5: twenty eleven, they resolved to head gask the problem with

220
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: the north Star engine?

221
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: Okay, where do you want to start? Which question? First?

222
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah? Type of oil?

223
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: Okay? Who said you can't use synthetic?

224
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: A friend of mine, his mechanic, told him he's got

225
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: an old the Cadillac with the north Star engine in it.

226
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 5: He had the head gas get done at all, and

227
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: he said, oh, definitely, don't put the synthetic oil in

228
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 5: this cadillact.

229
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: What is his reason? Did he give you a reason?

230
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 5: All right?

231
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: Go back, go back and get a reason. I'd really

232
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: be curious is to hear why. Because anytime anybody gives

233
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: me an absolution, you know, listen warrant. Anybody ever tell

234
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: you you can't do something in life, what's the first question?

235
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: You always want to know? Why?

236
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 2: Right? You know?

237
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Question everything? I was. I was taught to question everything,

238
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: and I guess it turned out all right, because look

239
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: where it got me. I question everything? You know why?

240
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, why can't I do that? Give me a reason,

241
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: give me a reasonable explanation. From my perspective, I'd put

242
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: synthetic oil in everything I own, and I do the

243
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: majority of the vehicles in the Inanian family have synthetic oil,

244
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: and I'm the only ones that do not. It may

245
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: be the only possible reason is if it's got some

246
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: sort of an oil leak, which I nothing right now does.

247
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: The only vehicle we didn't run synthetic in was the

248
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: old Volvo going back. I don't know how long has

249
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: this radio show been on the air. That Volva we

250
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: talked about about eight years ago, okay, And the rear

251
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: main seal just got to the point when it hit

252
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty thousand miles that it just and

253
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, the car was just getting older and we

254
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: were getting rid of it, and I just didn't have

255
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: the time needed to pull the trends and do the

256
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: rearmain and it went to the boneyard at three hundred thousand,

257
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: gone done down the road. But synthetic oil is fine.

258
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: Synthetic oil is the way to go. Now. Brand of

259
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: synthetic oil, that's a different conversation. Okay. Now, I'm gonna

260
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: tell you that the synthetic I like the most because

261
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: of the technology, is what we're gonna find over at

262
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: pens Oil and their pure plus technology, their brand of synthetic,

263
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why.

264
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: Instead of petroleum oil bingo, okayboard.

265
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: Okay, All synthetic oils are man made from a from

266
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: a base stock of of of a chemical composition. Pens

267
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Oils is the cleanest and the latest technology to market.

268
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: And I've seen the test results and there's just nothing

269
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: in my opinion, in my mind that's better than that

270
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: right now. And Caddy absolutely the only reason in you're

271
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: eighty four, Caddy. The only reason I may tell you

272
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: not to when you're eighty four Caddy is two reasons.

273
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: Number one doesn't have any cork gaskets in it, and

274
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: in eighty four, if it has a cork gasket, cork

275
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: valve cover gaskets, cork can be a possible it doesn't

276
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: react well with synthetic. And I'll retract my previous statement.

277
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: I thought we were talking about the new car. Cork

278
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: may be a reason why we can't run synthetic because

279
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: certain cork gaskets synthetic oils may be a leak issue.

280
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: All Right, I've never seen it, per se. I've heard

281
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: this rumor. Actually, no, I take that back. There was

282
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: one vehicle that did have an issue with synthetic and

283
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: a cork gasket. We had to do some What we

284
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: actually did was we built up a wall of our

285
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: TV silicone on the inside of the valve cover gasket

286
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: and solve the problem that way. So cork and synthetic

287
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of have some issues. But short of that, I

288
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: thought we were talking about your twenty eleven caddy. The

289
00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: twenty eleven caddy.

290
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: That's what I want to meanly talk about it.

291
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: Would I would run synthetic into twenty eleven caddy without

292
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: even thinking about it. I have no qualms there. Second question,

293
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: any freeze, I like.

294
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: Dick trun I always sort of clogged up the the

295
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 5: veins in the radiator. I always stuck with the prestone

296
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: fifty eight four caddy. Never any problems.

297
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Okay, but your eighty four Caddy had a slightly different

298
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: makeup in terms of electronics, in terms of engine, in

299
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: terms of gasket material, in terms of water pump lubricant requirement,

300
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: and whether you realize it or not, there is an issue.

301
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: You know.

302
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: I used to be of the mind that prestone fifty

303
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: to fifty or green coolant and everything doesn't work anymore.

304
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: The changes to the car have gotten so specific and

305
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: so demanding that in the last five years everything is now.

306
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: We are now coolant specific by vehicle manufacturer. You come

307
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: to the shop, I've got nine different brands of anti

308
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: freeze in stock from all the manufact The concern with

309
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: dex Cool was fifteen years ago when it first came out.

310
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: The radiator caps did not seal properly. Where dex cool

311
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: went south was when oxygen was induced into the cooling

312
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: system and it caused it to clog and bloat and

313
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: get kind of nasty, and people did not change it

314
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: because they were under the impression about it lasted forever,

315
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, five years, one hundred and fifty thousand miles,

316
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: which was dex school is rated for, and people's minds

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: was forever. Now, I have no problem. You're running decks

318
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: in your late model Caddy. I change it every three

319
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: to four years. I wouldn't let it go to the end.

320
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you to change decks early,

321
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: like I tell people to change spark plugs a little early,

322
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: like I tell people to change trans fluid a little

323
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: bit early. Because if enough is good, more is better,

324
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: and too much is just enough. In this world that

325
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: we live in.

326
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: When technology put on the colt, I've never gone over

327
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 5: nineteen hundred miles between oil changes. Every two years they

328
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 5: changed the anti freeze and the oil triny.

329
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: Now the eighty four caddy, Yes, I you know I would.

330
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: I would stay with that as far as that that regime.

331
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: So third question before the clock takes yes, absolutely, Third

332
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: question before the clock takes me the gas gas premium.

333
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: If you can afford it, put premium in it. Premium

334
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: does provide.

335
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 5: Caddy.

336
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: You can put mobile high tests in your eighty four caddy.

337
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: And here's the reason I like high test. Premium fuel

338
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: provides detergent additives that a regular fuel does not. Because

339
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: premium fuel is generally used in performance applications, performance engines

340
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: are more susceptible to carbon deposits and carbon formation. Premium

341
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: fuel requirement engines will react better with premium. A regular

342
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: engine with premium will react better with premium in the

343
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: sense that it will premium fuel will help beat up

344
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: carbon deposits. Now, if you don't want to use premium

345
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: fuel all the time, a fuel system treatment like CRC

346
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: one tank power renew that's a great fill in in

347
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: between premium tank usage, premium fuel usage to help poll

348
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: down car deposits and carbon build up.

349
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 5: Last question, Uh, the twenty eleven I know the the

350
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 5: Norse Stars had the head gasket problem.

351
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: Yep.

352
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 5: The dealer told me by twenty eleven they resolved that problem.

353
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: Twenty eleven, they were right on the cutting edge. So

354
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: tell them you'll take the car. What sort of extended

355
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: warranty is he going to give you on it?

356
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 5: Oh?

357
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: Ask the night.

358
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 5: It's got seventy eight thousand.

359
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Plus on it, right, so you know what sort of

360
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: extended warranty? I would tell you to take that car

361
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: and be prepared. You'll you know, it's it's at eighty

362
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: thousand miles, it's it's four years old. Okay, So you know,

363
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: you're kind of at that point where I'd like to

364
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: see you get a three year, thirty six thousand mile

365
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: warranty out of them on their dime.

366
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, And I think you said, I think.

367
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: That's a fair compromise if they believe in the product

368
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: that much. If not, walk away, okay.

369
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 5: Ron, all right, sir, thanks for your advice. You have

370
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 5: a great day.

00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, Warren. You take good care. There you go.

372
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: He remembers. That's an old time listener because he remembers

373
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: the Volva. We haven't had the Volvo in the family.

374
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: And two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, Holy smokes, hey,
